Edinburgh College's Elemis and Wella Academy is located in ‘The Hub’ at our Granton Campus and incorporates luxury hair treatments and spa therapies with environmental benefits, as one of the UK’s first College eco-friendly salons.

We have collaborated with Elemis & Wella to create an industry standard hair salon and spa to deliver high quality, innovative treatments with lots of eco-friendly and health technologies:

1st UK College to have Ceramic Fuel Cell

A self contained unit (the size of a large fridge ) which uses hydrogen to convert gas to electricity. The Fuel Cell also produces hot water, to fully operate The Hair & Beauty Academy.

Hot Water Heat Recovery

The hot water waste pipe from the wash points is contained so that the cold water is warmed up before it feeds the Fuel Cell, meaning less energy is used to heat water in the hair salon.

LED Lighting

The lighting throughout the hair salon and spa is LED including the linear task lighting to save energy.

Mobile Air Filters

Filtration hoods in the hair salon extract particles from the atmosphere allowing both asthmatic students and clients to use the The Hair & Beauty Academy treatments.

Nioxin Clinic

A specialist clinic, in conjunction with Wella, to diagnose hair/scalp problems and advise clients of the various solutions. A recommended treatment for cancer patients to promote hair growth.

The Hair & Beauty Academy, has many exclusive treatments including the NEW Flotation Therapy using our dry floatation bed and NEW Nioxin Hair System, The No1 stylist-recommended thinning-hair brand in the US, proven to deliver noticeable thicker, denser-looking hair. Treatments at The Hair & Beauty Academy sponsored by Elemis & Wella are:
